Chris Browne Valenzuela

Chris’s original play “#daddy” was selected to be in the Hispanic Federation’s Queer Arts Festival —FuerzaFest— playing in May.

The play takes place in a New York City apartment, where a gay father and his Queer son navigate the ups and downs of living under the same roof. For an LGBTQ+ kid raised in a conservative world, having a Queer parent feels like a dream come true…until cultural and generational tensions spark unexpected friction. With a diverse, colorful cast and sharp comedy, #daddy is a vibrant, heart-driven journey through love, identity, and the complexities of family.

The cast features Bert James, Darrian Gray, Devin Romero, Paola Poucel and Chris Browne Valenzuela. The production is co-directed by Chris, Brian Soliwoda and Jenny Hanrahan.
